IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER NATIONAL

• Outdoor Antenna Grounding — If an outside antenna is
connected to the television equipment, be sure the antenna
system is grounded so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information
with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna­discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.

• Water and Moisture — Do not use this product near water - for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or
laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.

•

Stand — Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod or table. Placing the product on an unstable base can

cause the product to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as damage to the product. Use only a cart, stand,
tripod, bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. When mounting the product on a wall,
be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Use only the mounting hardware recommended by the manufacturer.

• Selecting the location — Select a place with no direct sunlight and good ventilation.

• Ventilation — The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for ventilation. Do not cover or block these
vents and openings since insufficient ventilation can cause overheating and/or shorten the life of the product. Do not
place the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they can block ventilation openings. This product
is not designed for built-in installation; do not place the product in an enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack,
unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions are followed.

• The Liquid Crystal panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the product is dropped or
applied with impact. Be careful not to be injured by broken glass pieces in case the panel breaks.

• Heat — The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

• The Liquid Crystal panel is a very high technology product with 1,049,088 pixels, giving you fine picture details.
Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red. Please note that
this does not affect the performance of your product.

• Lightning — For added protection for this television equipment during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended
and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent
damage to the equipment due to lightning and power-line surges.

Power Lines — An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric

•
light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

• To prevent fire, never place any type of candle or flames on the top or near the TV set.

• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place the AC cord under the TV set or other heavy items.

• Do not display a still picture for a long time, as this could cause an afterimage to remain.

• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this product to dripping or splashing.

No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the product.

• Do not insert foreign objects into the product. Inserting objects in the air vents or other openings may result in fire or
electric shock. Exercise special caution when using the product around children.

• CONDENSATION — Moisture will form in the operating section of the player if the player is brought from cool
surroundings into a warm room or if the temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this happens, player’s
performance will be impaired. To prevent this, let the player stand in its new surroundings for about an hour before
switching it on, or make sure that the room temperature rises gradually. Condensation may also form during the
summer if the player is exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner. In such cases, change the location of the player.

DISC SLOT — Keep your fingers well clear of the disc slot as it is closing. Failure to do so may cause serious personal injury.

•

• LASER BEAM — Do not look into the opening of the disc slot or ventilation opening of the product to see the source of
the laser beam. Doing so may cause sight damage.

• DISC — Do not use a cracked, deformed, or repaired disc. These discs are easily broken and may cause serious
personal injury and product malfunction.

Precautions when transporting the TV

• When transporting the TV, never carry it by holding or otherwise putting pressure onto the display. Be sure to always
carry the TV by two people holding it with two hands — one hand on each side of the TV.

Caring for the Cabinet

• Use a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.) and gently wipe the surface of the cabinet.
Using a chemical cloth (wet/dry sheet type cloth, etc.) may deform the components of the main unit cabinet or cause cracking.

•

• Wiping with a hard cloth or using strong force may scratch the surface of the cabinet.

• If the cabinet is very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.) soaked in neutral detergent diluted with water

and thoroughly wrung out, and then wipe with a soft dry cloth.

• The cabinet is primarily made of plastic. Avoid using benzene, thinner, and other solvents, as these may deform the

cabinet and cause the paint to peel off.

• Do not apply insecticides or other volatile liquids.

Also, do not allow the cabinet to remain in contact with rubber or vinyl products for a long period of time. Plasticizers

inside the plastic may cause the cabinet to deform and cause the paint to peel off.

CHILD SAFETY

It Makes A Difference How and Where You Use Your Flat Panel Display

Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy your new product, please keep these safety tips in mind:

THE ISSUE

•

The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend and larger flat panel
displays are popular purchases. However, flat panel displays are not always supported on
the proper stands or installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

•

Flat panel displays that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves,
desks, speakers, chests or carts may fall over and cause injury.

THIS MANUFACTURER CARES!

•

The consumer electronics industry is committed to making home entertainment enjoyable
and safe.

TUNE INTO SAFETY

•

One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe
installation and use of your flat panel display.

•

Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for proper use of this product.

•

Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and television sets.

•

Don’t place flat panel displays on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a
chest of drawers.

•

Remember that children can become excited while watching a program, especially on
a “larger than life” flat panel display. Care should be taken to place or install the display
where it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.

•

Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the flat panel display
so that they cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.

WALL MOUNTING: IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL MOUNT YOUR FLAT PANEL
DISPLAY, ALWAYS:

•

Use a mount that has been recommended by the display manufacturer and/or listed by
an independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL).

•

Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount manufacturers.

•

If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your flat panel display, contact
your retailer about professional installation.

•

Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the display is appropriate. Some wall
mounts are not designed to be mounted to walls with steel studs or old cinder block
construction. If you are unsure, contact a professional installer.

•

A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat panel displays can be heavy.

Note: CEA is the preeminent trade association promoting growth in the $161 billion U.S.
consumer electronics industry. More than 2,200 companies enjoy the benefits of CEA
membership, including legislative advocacy, market research, technical training and
education, industry promotion and the fostering of business and strategic relationships.
